www.fireworks.com

Or alternatively maybe Wal-Mart or Target have some left over.

Do WV or PA have the ones that go up in the air or firecrackers? According to this site,
http://www.usfireworks.biz/legal/legal.htm

They don't. That's the only advantage I can see to going out of state. Last year I drove cross country and picked up some air bursts and firecrackers in New Mexico and Missouri. Missouri had the largest fireworks warehouse outside St. Louis I've ever seen with everything in the world.

they sell mortars at those places. they have al kind of thigns that "fly in the air" as you so eloquently put it.

The website is wrong. But I see where the mistake is... those things are ILLEGAL IN THOSE STATES.

A person with west va or pa id cannot buy from those places (respectively), but if you or I go there and show out of state id, we can buy them. So people from west va have to go to pa and people from pa to west va.

What it comes down to is these plaaces can sell almost anything to anyone who has an out-of-state id. You went to NM to buy shit you coulda got in PA.

I was up in PA for my job and yes the good fireworks are illegal in that state, so they check your ID to see your not from PA then you sign a waver saying you will take them out of PA within 48 hours and will not light them off in PA. I the PA police stop you show them the form. They are still illegal in VA and MD

That's quite interesting. BTW I didn't go cross country for fucking fireworks, I was driving from CA to here so it was on the way. I got some in New Mexico on an indian reservation and like I said in missouri. Neither place asked for an id. I suspect they do it around here one to cover their ass and two because so many people from restricted areas go there specifically for that.

Yeah, its called anfo. Amonium Nitrate Fuel Oil. Take Gas/deisel and mix it with plant fertilizer. Tim used a half a ton (1,000 lbs) and blew away half a building. Your average bag is 40 lbs, thats only 25 bags of fertilizer. Then you just need a detonator and fuse.

Fertilizer makes its own oxygen, so you can unload 2 bags with gas in a little box and leave it on the side of the road (or in a room if you feel destructive). Soak a long string in gas, light it, and run to your car and get the fuck outa the way.

And the DEA, FBI, DHS, and probably thirty other agencies. Hell the CDC would have a field day with the people on this board.

Everyone but ICE I guess. What the fuck do those guys do if not bust illegals? Seizing pirated DVDs at the ports? Fascists.

If you think ANFO can cause that much damage, you're a moron.

You would be surprised, this is pretty much what all commercial explosives are in the mining industry these days. Load up some 2" holes and watch what happens.

Here are some examples:

Phantom is the best...a huge waste of money but still lots of fun practically every "firework" holiday. Recovering redneck, can't help it. Make sure to drive legal on the way back thru VA because possession is a ticketable offense. Other choices are a couple others in PA and WV, South of the Border, or Blountville, TN.
